In the Middle Ages there were a large number of compositions on eschatological theme and compositions relating to the funeral ritual. It is significant that most of the few musical pieces recoverable of ancient Hispanic liturgy are belonging to the Officium Defunctorum. A varied repertoire of macabre thematic consists of laments, dances of death, responsories and other forms of poetic- musical expressions as antiphons and tropes, are the reflection of the questions that humans have ever made about the afterlife, about the meaning of life and death, and behind of them a chasm of fear, or hope.

In 1492 was enacted the Alhambra edict, this fact caused a forced migration of the Jews who remained in Spain. With them travel the liturgical texts of poets from the called “Jewish golden age” in Spain, and all music that today preserves the oral tradition, songs and poems of medieval Hispanic culture. This is part of our musical legacy, a fragment of our tradition and our history. Music that, as their customs, was part of the privacy of the family unit. Music that remained enclosed in space and, now, in time.
